STAVERN FORT PÅ CITADELLØYA
I 1677 under Gyldenløvsfeiden ble det på Gyldenløves ordre bygget et blokkhus med batteri og palisader på Stavernsøya. Dette var det første militære anlegg i Stavern. Omring 10 år senere ble det militære blokkhuset videreført i form av et befestet fort. Fortet fikk fast garnison på 13 mann og egen kommandant i 1689. Fortet var en liten festning med et tårn (donjon), 13 jernkanoner i år 1695 og husvære for kommandant og mannskap. I de påfølgende årene frem til 1713 økte bestykningen gradvis. De største kanonene var oppsatt i tårnet, mens de mindre var plassert i åpne batterier bygd av tørrmur og dekket av jord og torv. I 1751 ble Stavern fort en del av Fredriksverns befestninger. I dag holder kunstnere fra Norske Billedkunstnere (NBK) til i Kommandantboligen. I Kruttårnet er det et litet museum som heter, "Citadellets Samlinger" og Kruttårnteateret spiller her om sommeren. På Torkildsøya, rett over det lille sundet, står en bauta over Tordenskiold. Her har det vært en kirkegård og under de "Syv trærna" ligger sjøfolk begravet. Øya har svært sjeldne ballastplanter og urter. "Den grå dame" spøker på øya i måneklare netter. Stavern Fort er et nasjonalt fredet kulturminne.

The construction of Staverns Fortress began in 1677 when Ulrik Frederick Gyldenløve built a blockhouse with battery and palisades on a hill at Stavern, Norway as part of the overall development of Norwegian fortresses. The fort was first built on Karlsøy during the Gyldenløve War (1675–1679).
The fortress was expanded in 1687 until 1689 to include three canon batteries and a blockhouse. The fortress served as an important base for Norwegian naval hero Tordenskiold and his fleet during the Great Northern War’s final Norwegian phase from 1709 until 1720 and as a central staging point for sea commerce from Denmark in this period. The fort was the homeport for the Danish–Norwegian Kattegat squadron. And not least, it served as a major chandelling and forwarding center for canon from the Norwegian ironworks and other equipment.
Fredriksvern and Fredriksvern Verft was established as the headquarters for the Norwegian Fleet from 1750 until 1758 so that the older fortification became part of the naval base. The oldest constructed building, ‘’Krutttårnet’’, has a distinctive architecture and today is a well known tourist attraction.
It’s likely a mirror image of me from yesterday.
I know most people would fight to get their photos in Explore, but I am no tone of them, and it’s been happening one after the other as of late. So, I guess that this gator is actually a reflection of me. It wouldn’t bother me so much except that these are actually the rejects of photos that didn’t get posted initially. I want to thank everyone for putting up with me and also for your continuing support.
This is an up close and personal look at one of the smaller lumpy lizards on the bayou and one that was quite bold. This one is roughly 6 to 8 feet long and poses absolutely no threat. The only issue is to get a shot of it before it sinks below the surface. I would rather have more of the gator showing in the scene, but head shots will have to do for now. This photo was taken on Horsepen Bayou.
I might add that someone ran over my mailbox yesterday and left it laying flat next to my driveway yesterday. Strange how they never leave a forwarding address after they damage something in your yard and just drive away as if nothing happened. I managed to get another one up today in the misting rain and just hope it’s set in place solidly. Hope everyone has a wonderful day. Peace.

I suppose many people reach a point in their life where they suddenly stop and think and say, "Enough!" I think I'm there. It comes with a realisation you've become something you don't want to be or are going in a direction you don't like. I've loved Flickr but I think it has become too much of my life, making me less sociable, more outspoken at times, more dislikeable to some. So I think I'm going to try and turn a new page, leave this thing for a bit, and do something I've wanted to do for half a lifetime. I'm going to go quiet, and perhaps have another go at writing a book. No more penguin costumes. No more silly little stories and anecdotes. And turn my focus back a bit onto some things that are more important in life.
I had a plot for a book years ago. It involved Osama Bin Laden. He had vowed to destroy America. But he never achieved it from Afghanistan. Having had a career of working in shipping and forwarding I had worked out a story line to smuggle Osama Bin Laden into the USA. Once there a secret network would establish a base for him in caves in the mountains around Zion National Park in Utah, an area I had developed great fondness for on many vacations to the South West of the USA. Osama knew he would never have the military means to defeat the Americans but after 9/11 he devised a strategy to corrupt the fragile fabric of American society turning American against American, rich against poor, black against white, Christian against Muslim, "Haves" against "Have nots", Right wing against Left Wing by poisoning relationships in every sector of the population. Society would break down. There would be multi fronted civil war. American would kill American. And in my mind's book it happened with murderous open civil hostility throughout all of America. And it only stopped at the 11th hour when it slowly dawned on them what they were doing to each other and who had actually caused the initial antagonism. So I was horrified when Osama Bin Laden was killed in May 2011. My plot had just been wiped out and I had only reached Page 5.
So what plot now? I have been trying to think up an equivalent, credible situation ever since. Only one half decent idea had come to mind:
I pictured myself, as I am now, someone who wanted to write a story. But I had no idea what the plot could be. So I decided to set myself up in business as a private detective purely as a means of discovering stories. Potential clients would invite me into a situation to investigate discreetly what was going on: to establish the truth. After all everyone has a story behind them and I was quite sure that something intriguing and interesting might come along: perhaps a Pandora's Box I could open. So I advertised my services online. I had absolutely no background, experience or qualifications to call myself a 'detective' but who needs qualifications these days? You can be anything! I only had to wait a couple of days before my phone rang. It was a man. "It's about my wife," he started. And at that moment my life changed forever.

Just before dawn, I&O 4083 brings train 400 down to an easy stop at Prentiss, OH, where the crew will tie the train down & get in a crew van for Lima. Eventually, another crew will get on to deliver these racks of Ford vehicles to the NS in Sharonville for forwarding to the Ford "Mixing Center" in Shelbyville, KY. Just a typical day on this regional railroad, right? Not quite. This is the final cut of new vehicles to take this routing, as CN lost (or gave up, depending on who you talk to) the contract for this move and the cars will now go via CSX & NS. Not a huge loss for the I&O, as the revenue on this overhead traffic barely covered the operating expenses for moving it most of the time. It's the end of a long legacy however, as this is the former Detroit, Toledo, & Ironton; controlled for a time by Henry Ford and built to do what it did well: haul raw materials to the auto makers in Detroit and finished vehicles from there to the railroad's many connecting lines for shipment across the country. Though the coal and ore hauling from southern Ohio ceased in the Grand Trunk era, cars of finished automobiles remained a fixture on this line well into the RailAmerica era until this cold January 2010 morning.
After watching from afar on several occasions, I had the fantastic opportunity to walk one of the lead-ups to the Pyrenees mountain range last week. The summits in this shot could be perhaps classed more as "hills" rather than mountains, but when compared with the serious peaks, I still find them as "free" and demanding of almost as much respect. This is some serious terrain. Anyhow, landscapes were not my mission (no wide lenses from here on out).
Earlier in the year, a family member who lives in the French Pays Basque region (and just a short drive to the mountains), showed me several distant vulture pics from a smartphone. Knowing of my interests in birding and photography, I was promised a tour, with in-flight vultures on the agenda.
The opportunity arose as part of a short holiday, and I'm pleased to say that it was vultures I got! A whole host of Griffon Vultures to be exact - at times in kettles of up to 20. Spending the day photographing these glorious birds was an awesome experience and I've grown a newfound respect for the environment in which they thrive. As a bonus, I was able to snap the odd Kite (both Black & Red), Kestrel, Common Buzzard and even a couple of Short-Toed Eagles for good measure.
I'll look forwarding to sharing my bounty in the coming days. Thanks as always for looking!
FGLK RB-2 crosses the Mill River in Thomaston as they return from Brunswick with 17 empty cements in tow. One perlite car has been set out on the siding at Knox Street in Thomaston, joining one already on the siding, for presumable forwarding to Dicaperl at a later date.
The new Burnett Heads lighthouse was built to replace a wooden 1873 tower whose base can still be seen nearby.
The lighthouse is now one of two Australian Cospas Sarsat satellite ground receiver stations. The other one is at Cave Point, near Albany in Western Australia.
The lighthouse grounds are open all year round. The tower is not open to the public.
The International Cospas-Sarsat Programme is a satellite-aided search and rescue initiative. It is organized as a treaty-based, nonprofit, intergovernmental, humanitarian cooperative of 44 nations and agencies. It is dedicated to detecting and locating radio beacons activated by persons, aircraft or vessels in distress, and forwarding this alert information to authorities that can take action for rescue.
The system utilizes a network of satellites that provide coverage anywhere on Earth. Distress alerts are detected, located and forwarded to over 200 countries and territories at no cost to beacon owners or the receiving government agencies.
Excerpt from the brochure:
Blockhouse 2: For the British Army on the frontier, blockhouses were almost indispensable. These large rectangular buildings served as sturdy barracks and storehouses. A blockhouse was really a fort within a fort and became the last line of defense for the garrison. In times of peace, this blockhouse at Fort George stored supplies for the garrison or for forwarding to other forts on the upper Great Lakes. It also provided living quarters for the soldiers and their wives and children. At least six of every 100 men at Fort George were permitted to bring their families, which were fed and housed at the army’s expense. The “married quarters” consisted of a blanket hung around a bottom bunk. Children slept in a spare bunk, on the floor or wherever they could find a spot.
Food, like most aspects of a soldier’s life, was fixed by regulation. Daily rations of flour, meat, cheese in lieu of butter, peas and rice were issued. For variety, the men often pooled their resources to buy supplementary ingredients from the town merchants.
Due to flooding elsewhere Pacific National's regular Whyalla to Newcastle steel trains were cancelled, with single loco hauled daily shuttles transferring the product from Whyalla to Spencer Jct for forwarding at a later date.

By the time of these June 1988 photos, the Brunswick car shops had been closed and reduced to staging of cars until scrapping or forwarding to Cumberland. Two examples of the first iteration of ACF's "Center Flow" covered hopper are seen here; One HC13 representing a 6-outlet version with round hatches, and one HC17 representing a 3-outlet version with trough hatches. Since there are many of these Center Flow cars seen in these images, it is likey they were sent to Brunswick for class repairs which appear to have stopped midway when the shops closed. There's even a C&O caboose back there, evidence that the true Chessie era is over. No photographer listed, JL Sessa collection
Only minutes away from it’s destination of the Geelong Grain Loop is loaded PN grain service 7732V from Murtoa with the all EMD lash up of XR559/G527/X48/G539 as the train works off the dual gauge section through Moorabool on Monday the 11th of March 2024.
After discharging, the train would return to Murtoa as 7731V with the XR being detached at Gheringhap for forwarding to UGL Spotswood for general maintenance.

1st storms for June 2021
Moderate risk for this section of Nebraska. As we packed our gear and left about 3:00am to intercept these forwarding storm cells. Yes I said 3:00 am.
6:30am ish....Once in position to intercept... They were moving extremely fast and once they moved over our location it was hard to keep in front of them. We tried. Though we eventually have to move south Close to Shelby Nebraska we got the last severe storm of the day!

SD40-2 3401 was a great treat to be leading the Sunday-only unit limestone slurry train from the VRS connection at Bellows Falls, VT to Rigby Yard in Portland for forwarding to Maine's paper mills. The Willow in Ayer, Mass is the junction between the Stony Brook Branch (which the train is entering) and the commuter train carrying Fitchburg Mainline.
MNR Job 909 finishes up its day at Oakfield Yard, cutting up their short train and blocking it into the appropriate sections for further forwarding northbound.
Having been out of service for 8 years, Southern Railway SD40 #3170 moves its first tonnage since being rebuilt and restored into its Southern "Tuxedo" scheme. As viewed from Inman Yard's North Tower in Atlanta, GA, it is seen here moving a cut of cars from the class yard to the forwarding yard to become train 219.
Amazing effect not even produced by a back projection but just by a spot light positioned in front of the white statues reflecting their shadows on a church wall.
Seen & shot at my HomeSea on Dec. 29 2016 with my magic blue camera Nikon Coolpix S33.
No retouching nor photoshop applied! The cross, looking like a shadow is not a post-production effect at all: it's a glass intarsia in the church wall forwarding the light in the inside. The intuition to reverse the pic into B&W strenghtened this natural optical effect ;)

This was one of those shots where I was aware of the potential but didn't think I'd have the opportunity. As luck would have it on my third and final full day in the area the Fort Worth & Western ran a Dublin turn up to Cresson in the afternoon with the last of the three blue GE's buried in the power set. They actually set that off presumably for forwarding up to Fort Worth and picked up another FWWR motor to lead south. This nice set of five took a little longer than expected leaving Cresson causing me to wait out the last of the full, direct sun here but there was still some filtered evening glow when they finally did show up - enough for a little glint on the noses and light on the side as they crossed the Brazos River in Granbury, TX. 5/19/18
Loaded PN grain service 6AG4 from Bowmans to Parkes works through the former locality of Burnsfield between Snowtown and Redhill behind NR20/NR96 on Friday the 21st of February 2020.
At the time PN were running grain out of SA for forwarding to Manildra via Parkes for drought relief. This train is one of two rakes at the time running an average of 3 services a week, this one specifically worked from Broken Hill as 4505S earlier in the day before returning to Parkes.

After an early morning arrival, empty PN grain service 9785 from Murtoa has slowly commenced loading at Warracknabeal behind BL31/X50/G520 on Monday the 27th of May 2024. PN have been running almost daily to this location for the last week, collecting grain for forwarding to Portland as 7740V ex Murtoa.
The loading process for this facility sees the rear 32 wagons loaded first, which later get positioned on the mainline in the foreground while the front 18 wagons get loaded. Once those are complete, they are backed up the triangle past the silo chute before traveling around the other half of the triangle to rejoin the mainline and are then positioned onto the remainder of the consist to form 9786 back to Murtoa.
A larger than anticipated harvest in the Wimmera area has seen PN and SSR hauling a variety of main line and branch line trains in recent weeks, PN currently have 6 grain rakes devoted to moving this harvest to the ports of Geelong and Portland.

Northward from Iron Mountain this Milwaukee Road turn is heading to the Groveland Mine to pickup iron ore pellet loads to bring back to Iron Mountain on 11-9-78. There to interchange to the C&NW for forwarding to the docks at Escanaba, lead by F7A 68C other than the Milwaukee herald bolted below the cab there is little lettering left on these rather beat-up units on their last legs.

DHL International GmbH (DHL) is a German international courier, package delivery and express mail service, which is a division of the German logistics firm . The company delivers over 1.5 billion parcels per year. The company was founded in the United States in 1969 and expanded its service throughout the world by the late 1970s. In 1979, under the name of DHL Air Cargo, the company entered the Hawaiian islands with an inter-island cargo service using two DC-3 and four DC-6 aircraft. Dalsey and Hillblom personally oversaw the daily operations until its eventual bankruptcy closed the doors in 1983. At its peak, DHL Air Cargo employed just over 100 workers, management and pilots. The company was primarily interested in offshore and intercontinental deliveries, but the success of FedEx prompted their own intra-US expansion starting in 1983. In 1998, Deutsche Post began to acquire shares in DHL. It reached controlling interest in 2001, and acquired all outstanding shares by December 2002. The company then absorbed DHL into its Express division, while expanding the use of the DHL brand to other Deutsche Post divisions, business units, and subsidiaries. Today, DHL Express shares its DHL brand with business units such as DHL Global Forwarding and DHL Supply Chain. It gained a foothold in the United States when it acquired Airborne Express. The DHL Express financial results are published in the Deutsche Post AG annual report. In 2016, this division's revenue increased by 2.7% to €14 billion. The earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) increased by 11.3% over 2015 to €1.5 billion. 49527
